How to Play
Identify the mystery World Cup player in 6 guesses.
The Rules
A new mystery player is revealed every day at midnight UTC — same puzzle for everyone.
Type a player's name in the search bar, select them, and press Guess.
After each guess, five colour-coded hints tell you how close you were.
Solve it in 6 attempts or fewer, then share without spoiling the answer.
